Gib key puller.

Hi All,
Anyone got a puller for the flywheel key on a R&H PT (1 1/4" crankshaft) that they're not using?
I checked Stationary engine spares and fleabay.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike

make a shallow wedge to place between the flywheel and key head then tap the wedge to release the key.

Thanks, you make it sound so easy.
When you say "tap" it's more like belt it with a club hammer
(in a controlled manner of course).

If its that tight to use a club hammer it wasn't fitted properly.

Who knows what had happened in it's 82 year lifetime.
I suppose I'll be a bit (more) stubborn when I get to that age.

Hi All,
Don't worry about the puller, I've made one now.
Cheers, Mike.

Paul,
Had to resort to drilling the decapitated old key.
Fortunately the belt pulley on the PT is bolted through the flywheel so I made an adaptor plate and used my hydraulic three leg puller to draw it off, key and all.
It put up little resistance.
